Doesn’t look like much but it is time consuming. Lights, and the wiring of them.
I use cheap rock lights for my camp lights because…well they are cheap and I just need rugged water proof lights. That braided cord goes to the 12 pin plug I installed previously.
Link to the rock lights I use for...
I opted for KB Voodoo’s ProMax Modular rack and added the lockers. I am very excited about the extra storage for recovery gear and tools that free up bin space on the cargo rack. I’ve got discounts available if you are thinking about KB Voodoo racks or bed bars, just send me a message

Half bed slide is done!
It’s 22.5” wide, 63” long, and the drawer height is only 1.25” above the bed so my Dometic 75DZ still has almost inch of clearance under the cover. There’s a pull handle and the bar in front of it depresses to release the locks while stowed or fully extended out.
It’s...
My next project is more off road gear related than directly TUNDRA related, but it will go into the truck. There are a number of bed slides on the market but my problem with them is they span the entire width of the bed. Plus they tend to eat up or 3 so inches of vertical height. Plus you can’t...
Haha thanks. Toyota can only make it so good, plenty of room for improvement! I got tired of posting the build last night, there’s still more to come that will be less truck and more camping
I finished wiring up my connections to run my chase bar, which has brake lights-turn signals- amber chase lights-and reverse lights. The chase bar is tapped into the trailer plug wiring on the backside of the bumper so I can still plug in a trailer.
The wiring diagram is conveniently located...
I need to add the 12 pin bulkhead plug that will power my rack and tent as it goes on and off my truck like a backpack for off roading and camping.
Holes always look terrible
12 pin plug that still needs the wiring to the truck, some of the wires will piggyback off the trailer plug wiring...
When I get my new KB Voodoo Pro-Max rack my plan is to install a KC HiLites rear chase bar that will have rear turn signals and amber dust lights. I needed to install 2 switches to signal the solid amber and flashing amber lights. The amber LED’s have a minimal draw so I’m switching them...
My HAM unit is under the front passenger seat and I wanted to add an extension for the mic so that it wasn’t stretching from under the far seat. So I routed the extension into the center console.
There’s 4 bolts that I loosened
I drilled a hole near the edge just big enough for the mic plug...
I am wiring up my HAM radio and needed to pass the power cords through the firewall. HAMs specifically state not to power it off of the fuse block but the battery to keep down electrical noise.
On both sides of the truck under the dash are 2 large rubber grommets that have a big wire harness...
I used @RevereOverland 20% code and purchased Method 703 17x8.5 +35 wheels. I bought my friends tires he took off his day old Bronco Wildtrack which are Goodyear 315/70/17. He owns a tire shop and at $200 each mounted balanced and TPMS switched over I’m pretty happy. There are something like...
For wiring the dual compressor I used 8awg wire to run 2 positive lines from the battery to the compressor. Each compressor gets its own wire. I ran the negative wire to the compressor and spliced in the negative wire from my switch box as well. I also ran a shorter negative wire to the rear of...
I decided to place my compressor, after much deliberation, on the bed side wall in front of the wheel well. I went with a QuickDraw ARB compressor mount because of its simplicity, rubber dampeners, and well it’s easy...
I like to off road a lot and changing tire pressure is like changing shoes. If you are playing football on grass you aren't going to wear bowling shoes. The same is true if you are running forest roads, desert roads, or hitting rock gardens changing tire pressure helps with grip and comfort...
My trim level is the Limited and it came with the Limited trim power option which includes the AC outlet in the bed and bed lights. The lights work good but I wanted great. The bed lights turn on with the overhead external rear light when you open the tailgate so I piggybacked off those. I was...

Full-Size Fun
This build thread is how I am going about solving my off-road and camping problems to make overlanding more fun. I have learned first-hand that if something is easier to do then it’s likely I’ll want to do it more. Many of...
